Mohs Micrographic Surgery is one of the most precise and effective treatments for certain types of skin cancer.
This specialized technique removes cancerous skin layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope in real time. By doing so, Mohs surgery:
✔️ Preserves as much healthy skin as possible
✔️ Offers the highest cure rates for many skin cancers
✔️ Is especially effective for cancers on the face, ears, nose, and hands
✔️ Allows for immediate confirmation that cancer has been fully removed
At Houston Dermatology Specialists, Mohs surgery is performed by fellowship-trained, double board-certified dermatologist Christopher Downing, M.D., FAAD, ensuring both medical precision and thoughtful cosmetic outcomes.
When it comes to skin cancer treatment, experience and expertise matter.
